10 Best iOS Endless Running Games
A 10 best endless running games list was a lot of fun to put together because it’s great to see how creative developers can get with an endless theme. And there are some creative — and crazy — ideas for endless running games in the App Store. Hopefully you’ll discover some new gems in this list or remind yourself that you need to try and beat your old score on a familiar favorite.
Tiny Wings
Tiny Wings is a different kind of endless runner. The goal is to get to as many islands as you can before the sun sets and night catches up to your bird. Simple one touch controls make the game easy to play but difficult to master. Developer Andreas Illiger is always updating the game, and just added more levels, retina display, more birds to choose from and a cool new racing feature called Flight School. Tiny Birds is a great addition to your endless runner collection.
Robot Unicorn Attack
I don't even know where to begin with Robot Unicorn Attack. To be honest, this may be one of the weirdest games I've ever played. Keep your robotic unicorn afloat in a world filled with rainbows, fairies and dolphins, all to the happiest song Erasure has ever written. It's cheese poured on top of weird poured on top of crazy and it all just seems to work.
Zombie Tsunami
The zombies are here and it's your job to grow your zombie army by eating all of those dumb humans standing on the road asking for help! This bright and cartoony endless runner has a ton of cool features, including mystery powerups that turn your zombie chain into ninjas, giant aliens, dragons and more. Keep the chain going to keep your running streak alive. Lose a zombie? Just eat more humans! You'll be hooked the moment you press Play.
Sonic Dash
It's about time Sonic entered the world of endless runners. Who better to join the genre than the guy who sort of trademarked running like a bat out of hell? Sonic may not re-invent the genre, but the colorful graphics, blazing speed and tight controls Sonic Ball our blue hedgehog straight onto our list. A few upgrades to the game by Sega, and who knows? Sonic could find himself speeding up to the top of the 10 Best Endless Running Games list sooner rather than later.
Save Them All
It's the end of the world! And only a spikey haired guy with no memory can help save the day. UFO invaders, zombies, meteors and everything else that can kill you stand in your way from saving the human race. This unique endless runner has some cool power-ups to keep the game fresh and fun to play. Another unique thing about it? The high scores reset every 24 hours, creating a mad dash for players to always stay on top. Can you save the world everyday?
Amazing Runner
This futuristic endless runner takes the genre and spins it upside down, sideways and throws some loops in for good measure. Add in awesome graphics, intuitive touch controls and a crazy endless track that is full of surprises, and you'll get a glimpse of the future of endless running games.
Pitfall!
Pitfall Harry is back! The 30th anniversary of Harry's adventures in the jungle have come alive with this stunning and clever endless runner game. Swing on vines, collect gold bars and purchase items. It's a brand new Pitfall! for a brand new generation. Colorful graphics and always changing perspectives keep the game fresh and entertaining.
Ronin
Endless runners are hard to make, especially since it seems like its all been done before. Ronin gives gamers a breath of fresh endless running air with gorgeous backgrounds, simple and intuitive controls, and a wonderful mix of story and action. It's one of those apps that came out of nowhere and stabbed us with gaming glee.
Jetpack Joyride
Jetpack Joyride has been out for a while and it's still the king of endless running games, which is why it is on our 10 best endless running games list. With a unique theme, awesome power-ups, fun vehicles to ride in like dragons and robotic birds, jackpot spins, colorful backgrounds, crazy gadgets and music, you will not be able to put this game down. Halfbrick recently released an update including new characters and items, so if you haven't had a chance to play this yet, then strap yourself in, because you're about to embark on one wild endless ride.
Punch Quest
What makes an endless runner great? When it's so addicting that you can't stop playing it to see if you can make it just a little bit farther than before. Punch Quest has had this effect on all of us here at Arcade Sushi, and the surprise App Store hit has not only won us over, it's forced us to place it as the #1 free game in our Free Games list and knocked Jetpack Joyride off of its long standing reign as king of the Endless Running Games list. Don't believe us when we say it's that good? Download for yourselves and find out.
